Re: Tips for learning new alphabet?

The Cyrillic alphabet doesn't take long to figure out. Just know that it's entirely phonetic, so the letter you see stays with however it's pronounced no matter how basic or advanced you are in Ukrainian.

Re: When do the writing exercises start?

Yes, early in the course, after the alphabet section is the option to type in Ukrainian or use the word bank.

You can learn Ukrainian on Duolingo, but also on Loecsen, LingQ, and if you choose to learn with a professional tutor online, you can go to iTalki and browse their teachers.

It is not a word that can be translated, but rather gives emphasis on what's being said.

Re: Ukrainian word list

The course recently went through a change to include the alphabet and perhaps other minor additions. For me, my word count is 1099, and it was DOWN from something like 50 words because the course used to have a Holiday Lesson. (They removed it.) Anyone who completed the course with the Holiday Lesso...

Re: What's the point of ads on Duolingo now?

I can't say for sure how Duolingo chose to do business with their advertisers, but I can say that most advertisers are on a contract. That being said, how long their contracts would have been before things changed is a better question. Back in early February, Duolingo made their announcement that th...

Re: No Streak Freeze record not showing

I do know from experience that you first must complete your first 100 days' streak in order for the system to recognize your Duome profile. That being said, it's also a matter of time before Duome is updated. For example, when I hit my 1000th day, I wanted to take a screengrab on my Duome profile bu...

I would say no. Other learning sites like iTalki removed their own forum back in 2020, and about eight months after, replaced it with a very structured "Community" type of format where you could only get help with language-learning. There was no place to simply ask "Do you think we sh...

Logging in and always doing something was no doubt useful, but I have moved on to other sources and ways to practice. It was always more fun to engage with others, and with that gone, logging in to one p...

Re: Discord Server - Being Promoted by Duolingo - Are You Going There?

In my opinion, Discord servers are okay if you want to host a class or something. So if a group wants to get together for German chat, they can all meet in one channel. But if that's the case, why not just have your own server for that so random people don't go in? But even then.. who moderates that?
